Nao® by Lladro "Snuggle Cats" Porcelain Figurine

Two adorable kittens, snuggled up for an afternoon nap. The perfect gift for a cat lover, this handcrafted porcelain figurine is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Part of the Nao All My Pets Collection, this piece was introduced in 2007. In this figurine, a pair of pet cats cozy up for a sleepy day. Some of the intricate details include the fish applique on the green pillow and the square quilted design on the pink pillow. Each cat wears a ribbon to identify as male or female (pink for the female and blue for the male). The figurine is hand painted in delicate pastel shades and kiln fired for more than twenty hours to achieve a flawless final glaze.

About Nao Porcelain:
Part of the Lladro Group, Nao has offered a collection of natural and elegant handmade porcelain figures since 1968. Created with characteristic warmth, each piece is detailed with perfection of finish, purity of form and graceful expressiveness of design. The figures illustrate the themes and journeys in all phases of life: from childhood games to spirituality, from the merriness of clowns to religiously inspired images, from falling in love to family life. For over 40 years, Nao creations have won the hearts of millions throughout the world. Perfect for gift-giving, the pleasures of owning a Nao figurine are priceless.

The Meaning Behind the Name:
Nao is the Spanish word for ship and is used to refer to Spanish and Portuguese merchant ships from the 15th and 16th centuries. The ship featured in the Nao logo was chosen to represent a homeward journey, loaded with the rare spices of creativity, skill and magic. Judge for yourself if the voyage was of merit.

The Making of Nao Figurines:
Expert hands are required to translate life's moments into the beautiful figures that make up the Nao collection. This is why Nao porcelains are produced by veteran craftsmen in the company's own local workshops near Valencia, Spain. The ceramic tradition of the Valencian community goes back to Roman times. Since then, this artistically-rich area has continued the tradition along with painting, sculpture and music. The figurines are the perfect combination of artisan craftsmanship and modern porcelain manufacturing techniques. This allows us satisfy the followers of the brand worldwide.
